A LETTER FROM THE MAYOR

WELCOME, SPONSORS!

There’s a lot of opportunity awaiting you in this wonderful community.

Gaithersburg is a growing, diverse city of more than 68,000 people, located in the heart of Montgomery County, Maryland. We’re home to multinational corporations, unique retailers and restaurants, award winning neighborhoods, a highly educated workforce, and a school system that’s consistently rated among the best in the country.

Our accolades include rankings as the #1 community in the country for ethno diversity by WalletHub (2016), #8 on the list of fastest growing cities in America by the U.S. Census Bureau (2014), and one of the 25 best suburbs for retirement according to Forbes Magazine (2014).

And while we’re right in the middle of the bustling DC metropolitan area, with all of the opportunity that offers our residents, we pride ourselves in our ability to maintain a small town feel. Much of that is a result of our emphasis on special events and activities that engage the community, some of which, like the Gaithersburg Book Festival, enjoy national acclaim.

Partnering with the City of Gaithersburg to help us bring the community together through these events makes perfect business sense. Our events are well organized, well advertised, and well received. Adding your brand to our list of sponsors gives you the opportunity to increase awareness, build goodwill, and demonstrate support for the local community. And please know that we would be happy to work with you to customize our sponsorship packages to meet your marketing objectives.

We look forward to welcoming you into the Gaithersburg family. It’s a great place to be.

Jud Ashman, MayorCity of Gaithersburg
